Insights into the punk singer’s bizarre alleged crime series involving a pregnant waitress and a Tesla ramming accident

The frontman of the Los Angeles-based band Cancer Christ is now facing charges of kidnapping, car theft, reckless driving, theft, burglary, robbery, vandalism and resisting arrest.

The wild series of events began at about 1:45 p.m. on August 21 at a Mariposa County restaurant, where Mehlhaff touched the belly of a pregnant waitress. According to the Mariposa County Sheriff’s Officeand told her, “The spirits have led me to you, and your baby is mine. And when is your break, because I will be waiting for you.”

According to a press release from the sheriff’s office, the punk singer stole several drinks, attacked another employee and then fled in his vehicle toward Yosemite National Park.

The Mariposa County Sheriff’s Office received the first 911 calls around 3 p.m. that same day, including “reports of a possible chase, kidnapping, assault, stolen vehicles and other suspicious circumstances,” the press release said.

According to authorities, park rangers attempted to stop Mehlhaff while he was within the boundaries of Yosemite National Park before he eventually made his way to Fish Camp, a very small nearby community of about 50 people.

According to authorities, Mehlhaff caused an accident with his car and stole a bicycle. But before that, according to the press release, Mehlhaff took off his shirt, gave it to a passerby and said to him: “You’ll want to keep this, I’m going to be famous.”

According to police, Mehlhaff entered the kitchen of the Teyana Lodge, “placed his hat and other items in a refrigerator, grabbed a knife from the kitchen and began threatening the workers.”

After this alleged incident, authorities say, the punk rocker went to a nearby creek, where he removed his pants, wallet and car keys, then entered the Tenaya Lodge clubhouse wearing only his underwear. He allegedly ordered customers to leave the building or they would be in danger.

The document goes on to say that Mehlhaff then began vandalizing the lodge before attacking the manager and attempting to kidnap him in an attempt to force him to evict Mehlhaff from the area. The manager was able to free himself and escape, according to police.

The press release states that Mehlhaff nevertheless stole the manager’s vehicle, drove toward Oakhurst and then began to exhibit an aggressive driving style when he encountered a Tesla.

According to police, Mehlhaff began following closely behind the other vehicle and eventually rammed it, which continued through the city of Oakhurst, according to the California Highway Patrol. Fox 26 News.

At that point, police say, Mariposa County Sheriff’s officers encountered both vehicles and attempted to stop Mehlhaff. According to the statement, he eventually caused an accident just outside of Oakhurst and was taken into custody.

After Mehlhaff was medically cleared, authorities said, he is now being held in the Mariposa County Jail on $100,000 bail.

“This man drove throughout our county terrorizing our visitors and community members. I am extremely glad that no one was seriously injured, this man’s behavior was erratic and dangerous,” Mariposa County Sheriff Jeremy Briese said in the press release.
